5/8ths of DC’s fatalities in 2024 have been hit-and-runs. We’re running a 100% increase in fatalities over last year

Traffic deaths have gone up 93% in 5 years in DC. That incl. on CT Ave. Kershbaum called it “nuance.” I call it cowardice. A total lack of vision & leadership at the very top: Mayor Muriel Bowser. Watch starting at :40. cbsnews.com/news/traffic-d…

Curious if other women/people who identify as women in #bikedc have had these types of experiences? Makes me want to pilot a study in the DMV to measure/track misogynist aggressions/abuses toward female cyclers/micromobility users... momentummag.com/women-really-n…
